Hi all hubby went camping on the weekend in the duea nationl park and these guys made themselves right at home cleaning plates.
They didnt seem to mind the guys at all and hung around all day.
One pair were mating at one stage.

Just be wary of them, they are an animal that can cause an aweful lot of damage to soft human skin, don't take them for being "tame".

You sure it wasn't two males combatting?

both us of us are country folk we have seen the damage goannas can do so we are wary.
There was some combatting males but also a loved up couple doing the deed.
Swags were checked very closely come bed time hehehehehe. These guys are found at Dry Creek camp ground Duea NP.
